I know its early days but Im feeling less confident about this season than I did last. I think once we get some clarity on some new players coming I will feel a lot more confident. At the moment I think we maybe staring at a mid table finish, obviously I hope I'm wrong. Upson/ David uncertainty , losing Bridge no Vicente. Just feel the squad looks a lot weaker AT the moment. What are your thoughts?

Ulloa + match fitness + a more direct and attacking slant on the 4-3-3 = goals goals goals

Very happy that poyet has gone
Love my seat league position not a big factor but a bonus if we made playoffs again
i think poyet would have struggled to get top 6 this season but we will never know.

I am feeling positive. The appointment of Oscar Garcia excites me. I'm not expecting instant success as we completely swept away the old regime and the new one will take a while to settle down. However it looks like the technical style of football will remain and I feel we can only progress playing this way.
The resigning of El-Abd and the apparent success of the Shorey trial makes me less concerned about the defence although more quality will need to be added here. The prospect of CMS getting a new lease of life under a new manager is also intriguing.
I think whilst the squad lacks the depth we would like, it is solid enough to do ok to begin with, if we can build on it a little more then things could really be looking up.
I expect this division to be even more competitive than usual without a runaway leader. It should be a cracking season.

I've lost my Albion mojo with all the goings on recently, but did enjoy the friendly at Whitehawk. Hopefully when everything has settled down, we hear from Oscar, and sign some players, it will return. At the moment, I feel meh.

Ejector seat. Automatically goes off on 80 minutes and accurately deposits him onto the water slide that runs from the top of the West Stand to Falmer station.

To be honest, I want to feel confident,but as things stand now we are WEAKER than last year. I just need to see the club means business with some decent signings as supposedly we have similar budget to last year..

Even at Gillingham I looked forward to the new season....optimism abound....everyone must have a dream...and if you don't have a dream how do you expect a dream to come true.....hang on.....heard that somewhere else...??
Not just yet but I'm hopeful I will!
Been worried about the regular use of FFP in Barber's communications and the lack of signings. Ask again in 3 weeks but if what we have now is what we start the season with we'll struggle for sure. But that's unlikely and hoping for a minimum of LB (Shorey looks set) CB (I think we need more than the Greer/El Abd combo) and at least one CM (with a bit of pace)
